Dude, I yanked that motor this morning with a freind. It's seriously jacked. I can't begin to explain the jackiness of that step child bottom end. Seriously, I looked today and I had like no oil and I JUST filled it AND my coolant dropped (overflow) like from max to just above min. I couldn't back up the hill out of the garage I had to push the gas to the floor to get it to 3k or so. Once on the road, I look ahead and see all the smoke pouring from the bay (PCV, VC, everywhere) and pulled it back in.
[screwed]I had smoke puffing like a geyser from my dipstick hole[/screwed]
There was no saving that motor. I could check #3 plug and pretty much gurantee what my uncle said and report back with a clean plug that was steamed off by coolant.

IflybyInAWhiteTie: Thanks for the prompt effort to rectify that motor, but I think it was a goner and I have another already so we'll "rock" that. Thanks for the help though, buuuuuuudddddE.

Thats the worst godamn feeling Just finishing a motor swap or somthing and knowing you have to take the ****** back out, that sucks I feel you're pain. I've got 2,000 miles on my fresh swap and my tranny took a ----, not quite as bad as you're situation, hope you get to school in time :P And at least I have a spare that I know works.

You ain't kidding bud. This is the 2nd motor replacement that's going back in and for what I paid I'm hoping it gets 58mpg and 250whp to boot. Just pray this works out and I'm done with this nonsense and back to school chilling.

Motor in and running good. It poured smoke at start up, but you guys said it might due to laying on its side or something. My Dad also poured little oil in each plug hole to lube it and that took some time to use most of that up. Compression test read 185 175 185 185 and the 175 is probably 185 I just didn't crank it long enough. So looks like I'm going back to school. Thank GOD....whew and of course thanks ALL of you for your help and most of all the concern and good luck wishes bestowed upon me. I appreciate all the help, really, thanks.
JD....A blown motor, another one with a cracked sleeve, ask anyone here and you especially should know sometimes it doesn't just GO right at all. Jesus loves me, and you believe it or not. However, I know you hate Bible thumping and I won't preach to you.
Oh yea, PM me if you guys want some turbo goods.
